Coffee Tied to Lower Parkinson's Risk - Mon Sep 16, 1:42 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A review of medical studies confirms previously reported associations between coffee drinking and a lower risk of Parkinson's disease.

Drinking coffee was associated with a 30% lower risk of the disease. In general, each additional cup of coffee lowered the likelihood of having Parkinson's by 10%, although the effects differed by gender. In women, moderate coffee intake appeared to provide the greatest protection, whereas greater amounts were the most protective in men.
